| Description | Elizabeth Taylor Cadbury thanks her family for their recent letters and sends her best wishes to her younger sisters Josephine and Frances (Annie Frances) who were suffering from fever whilst in India. Taylor Cadbury refers to her sisters having gone on a horseback ride which she remarks 'seems a good cure for fever'. Taylor Cadbury also remarks on taking her son Laurence (Laurence John, born 1889) to visit the zoo and comments on contemporary political issues featured in the newspapers such as a piece on Lord Grey published in the 'Daily News'.
Much of the second page of this letter is taken up with a description of the Cadbury family's recent visit to their home Wynds Point in Malvern where they often stayed for holidays. Taylor Cadbury notes that the family had taken her husband George Cadbury's motor boat out on the River Severn visiting Saxon churches at Deerhurst. George Cadbury and the children had travelled by motor car to Leominster and 'visited all the relations at the Orphanage'. Taylor Cadbury writes that she had taken the youngest children cycling to Bosbury but had unfortunately skidded badly on her bicycle injuring her elbow. Owing to the warm weather, the family had been able to eat outdoors whilst away at Wynds Point.
Taylor Cadbury concludes her letter by commenting on the family's visit to Colwall Church where they had heard a sermon by Reverend Stenson of Bloemfontein who had been born and educated in South Africa and worked as a missionary. Taylor Cadbury also remarks on how busy she was as her children were soon returning to school and she was due to attend Quaker Meeting at Northfield and Selly Oak. |
